Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
TP In Canada, a little while back,
they held a conference of mem
bra of the British empire, to aee how
they could fix things up ao that these
members of the British empire can do
most of their trading among each
other, and thua Increase their pros
perity. '
The Idea, of course, la to keep the
business In the family, instead of let
ting It go outside as, for example, to
the United States.
r"8 a smart acheme although, of
course. It Is not new. People have
been achemlng to keep trade In the
family ever since business has been
business, and It has alwaya worked
Just as long aa the family was able
to provide the right kind of gooda at
the right prices, and NO LONGER.
It will be the same way with the
family of British nations.
AT least, that' !a what Hanford
McNlder, ex-minister to Canada,
aaya, and he adds:
"If thla aoheme works, and the
British natlona become more prosper
oua aa a result of It, they are going
to BUY MORE from us here in the
United States.
"It certainly can' hurt ua to have
the other natlona more prosperous
than they axe now. The more money
they have, the more -they 11 buy of
... i l. - t ull ffeam
bniOgS TWO w w. .........
-
THAT la the modern Idea in busi
nessthat the mora prosperity
there la all the way around the more
prosperoua WE will be.
People used to think that the way
to be prosperoua waa to take it away
from the other fellow, but they are
learning better. They know now, by
experience, that, when the other fel.
low la prosperoua he will have money
to spend, and if he haa money .to
spend WE will get part of It.
If he isn't .prosperous, he won't
have money to apend and ao there
won't be any for ua to get a share of.
AND so it goes with wages of labor.
There was a time when em
niovers lenerallv believed that the
less wagea labor got the more money
the employer had left to put in nis
socket.
Now ehrewd employers are reallz
ln that only as labor haa money to
apend will there be a market for the
Uilngs the employer haa to aeu.
rvUROTO the present depression,
with business falling off and
profits vanlahing, it has been neces
sary to reduce wages.
That haa ALWAYS HAPPENED.
Waaea have gone up in good tlmea
and down In bad tlmea. and In the
past, when good timea returned, em
ployers have been inclined to resist
to the last ditch any Increases In
wases after the return of good times.
That, you aee, was in the old daya
when employera believed that the
more wagea labor received the less
money the employer had to put In
his pocket.
THIS writer, who la an employer on
hla own account, In a modest
way, and who talks to many other
employers, believes that when good
times return and buslneaa can again
be operated at a profit employera will
be inclined to Increase wagea volun
tarlly.
There will be exceptions, of course,
to this rule, but employera generally
are coming to believe that only as
people have money to spend can a
market be found for the products of
Industry.
YTERE la a statement made yester-
day by a man who for many
rears was an auctioneer here In
Southern Oregon:
"Up to a few years ago. I made the
larger part of my living by crying
farm sales, which then were numer
ous. So, naturally, I am interested in
such things.
"I have been watching your paper
rather carefully, and I dont believe
I've seen an advertisement of a farm
auction In a year. They Just aren't
being held."
rpHAT la true. Why la It true?
Well, there are two conditions
that produce farm auctions. One Is
an expanding condition in the farm
Industry, when individual farmers are
looking around for more livestock,
or other farm products; for used ma
cn:;iey. etc.
Tat condition, aa everyone knows,
does nit at present exist.

Declaring the present and two pre

failed utterly to understand the
farm problem as a national whole,
or to plan for Its relief," Governor
Franklin D. Roosevelt, speaking to

proposed a six-fold relief program.'

portunity of getting their properties
back."
